Ryzentosh ~ Ventura 13.3 ~ Ryzen 5 5600x ~ RX 5600XT ~ B550 ~ OC 0.9.1 ~
Audio output is great btw but the lack of mic input on Ryzentoshe's made me buy a USB WebCam with builtin microphone which is working without any effort. FeatureUnlock kext (1.1.4 latest commit) https://github.com/dortania/build-repo/releases/download/FeatureUnlock-ec664b2/FeatureUnlock-1.1.4-RELEASE.zip made Continuity Camera work flawless.

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?
